Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 6 English muffins, cubed

Protein

  • 8 oz Canadian bacon or ham, chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Swiss or cheddar cheese

Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped

Other

  • Butter, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Cube the English muffins into bite-sized pieces and optionally lightly toast them to prevent sogginess. Spread the bread cubes evenly in a butter-greased baking dish.
  2. Layer with Canadian bacon and cheese: Scatter chopped Canadian bacon over the bread cubes, then top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese for savory layers.
  3. Whisk the eggs and season: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, bacon, and cheese to soak thoroughly.
  4. Bake until set: Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
  5. Prepare and add hollandaise: While baking, make hollandaise sauce by whisking egg yolks with melted butter and fresh lemon juice until creamy and smooth, or use a high-quality store-bought version. Once the casserole is out of the oven, drizzle the warm hollandaise sauce over the top and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.

Notes

  • Use day-old English muffins to absorb the custard without becoming mushy.
  • Bake the casserole until just set to keep it creamy and avoid drying out.
  • Prepare hollandaise sauce right before serving for best texture and freshness.
  • Distribute bacon and cheese evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes after baking for easier slicing and improved texture.
